However, if the bladder is over run with bacteria, and more specifically, if the bacteria attach to the walls of the bladder and begin to multiply, the body will become overwhelmed with too much bacteria to eliminate it effectively.
A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord encircles the fetal head. It is sometimes referred to as the cord around the neck. Often it is documented as nuchal cord x3 which means the cord is wrapped around the fetal head three times.
The umbilical cord is the life-line that attaches the placenta to the fetus. The umbilical cord is made up of three blood vessels: two smaller arteries which carry blood to the placenta and a larger vein which returns blood to the fetus. It can grow to be 60 cm long, allowing the baby enough cord to safely move around without causing damage to the cord or the placenta.
